Writers With Drinks – Next 4 Events
People are going to have to excuse me as I’m learning on the fly here about Writers With Drinks, a monthly event presented by Charlie Jane Anders. I was directed to the upcoming schedule via twitter, and I see names like Mary Robinette Kowal, Cherie Priest and James Rollins sprinkled in over the next 4 months. So, if you’re in SF (San Francisco or Speculative Fiction) or the surrounding area you may want to check it out as even if you’re not into hardcore drunk reading, you probably either drink or read. It’s one of those shindigs that causes me to have use a surplus of tags when I post.
